Partial secularism and comprehensive secularism – Part Two

This study attempts to remove some of the ambiguity surrounding "secularism" which has become one of the most important terms in analytical discourse, and to arrive at a complex definition characterized by a high interpretive capacity. The author distinguishes between what he calls partial secularism (separation of religion from the state with silence regarding final issues), and comprehensive secularism (separation of human, moral, and religious values from life in both its public and private aspects, and removing sanctity from humans and nature so that the entire world becomes a utilitarian material employed by the stronger for their own benefit.
